Attention. Bermondsey Street Festival has been cancelled due to Queen’s death. We will ride more or less the same route with the same start and finish times. Instead of spending time at Bermondsey St we will but spend time exploring Bermondsey, visiting historic and contemporary sites of interest. Plan is to pass Guys Hospital, then the Leathermarket buildings. Explore Bermondsey St (Glassblowing Centre, Fashion and Fabric Museum, White Cube Gallery). At top end stop at St Mary Magdalen Church, site of the 11th century Bermondsey Abbey. Then on to Bermondsey Square, Spa Road Station (first rail terminus in London, long disused) and the Biscuit Factory. Back to Canada Water via Southwark Park. Link below should still be used for registration.

NOTE. You must register on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cycle-ride-to-bermondsey-street-festival-tickets-416839958537

Start 10am at Canada Water Library (Deal Porter Square, opposite Canada Water Station, SE16 7AR). Bruce leading.  Planning an easy-paced, 8 mile, 2 hour, ride to the Bermondsey Street Festival (Festival details at https://bermondseystreetfestival.org.uk) 
An outward route with lots to see. Down the Albion Channel to the Thames. West along the Thames path to Tower Bridge. Cross Tower Bridge then use pedestrian crossing to get to the slip road down to St Katherines Dock. Over the Red Bridge and through to the Hermitage Riverside Memorial Garden and on to Ivory Dock. North to Royal Mint St and Cycleway 3.  West to Tower Hill and via Cycleway 5 to The Monument. Across London Bridge and along Tooley St to Bermondsey St.  Have a 20 min stop there to look at some of the Festival activities. Option to stay at the Festival if you want.
Following break at the Festival, for those wishing to continue, will get back to Canada Water using the Cycleway 14 route mostly along or close to the Thames.  Did this ride in 2019, Sept 14th, see report at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-august-sept-2019.html.  Route at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=14S-g8PxDUw0uTGKtGc29wMu_Mu35DbeQ&usp=sharing
